Description

Contemporary townhouse in Cambridge’s Fresh Pond area with 3 large bedrooms (two en-suite). Well suited for families and longer stays. Large open kitchen with island, fully equipped (oven, stove, dishwasher, microwave, toaster oven, refrigerator, cookware, dishes). Dining table seats 8. Comfortable living room with durable, family-friendly furniture. Second floor: family room with TV, office/library nook with desk and shelves, and primary bedroom (queen bed, attached bathroom, large closets including walk-in). Third floor: two large bedrooms (one with two twin beds; one with twin + pull-out couch), both with desks and good closet space (one walk-in), plus full bathroom with dual access. Laundry (washer/dryer) on this floor. Additional beds, cribs, or bunk beds can be provided. Basement storage and attached garage for two cars (or bikes/strollers), plus free guest parking. This house has what no other place in Cambridge can offer: the association indoor swimming pool, open 24/7, completely free and like your private swimming pool, except better, because all the maintenance is done for you. There is also a jacuzzi and hot tub there, as well as two shower rooms. The pool is not large and it's somewhat shallow (1.5m on the deepest side), but it's great for kids, and you can hire private swim instructors. Central A/C and heat; energy-efficient home. Excellent location near Fresh Pond, with extensive walking and running paths, nearby parks and wooded areas, and direct access to the regional bike path network (Belmont, Arlington, Lexington, Bedford, Somerville, and across Cambridge). Walk to Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Star Market, and other shops and restaurants. Walk to Alewife T; multiple bus lines nearby for easy access to Harvard, MIT, and downtown. Three playgrounds within a 5-minute walk. Cambridge offers public (free) pre-K for 4-year-olds, which is not the case for other local towns. Snow removal and exterior maintenance handled by the association. High-speed internet ready. Utilities can be bundled for a fixed monthly fee. We are responsive landlords and address issues quickly. Happy to share information about local schools, activities, and logistics.
